The Last Savasana: Yoga, Breathwork and Inquiry to Prepare You for the Final Exit

Sunday, September 20, 2-5 PM

• Find a renewed appreciation for the beauty of our time on the planet
• Increase personal agency around end of life decisions
• Delve deep on what really matters to you.
• Realize a new perspective on a very old pose and how it can help you be more comfortable with the inevitable.

Join Leslie for a deep dive into Savasana with a twist. Most of us spend our days trying to extend our lives, i.e. looking both ways before crossing a street, putting our seatbelt on and checking expiration dates on our food. Nonetheless, nothing we do, not even yoga, can help us escape life’s inevitable end. Yoga can help prepare us to face our fear of the inevitable, maybe even embrace it so that we come to appreciate the preciousness of each day we are alive.

Yoga is meant to bring us more awareness and gives us tools to manage the challenges of being human. This workshop is designed to manage the anxiety we all have around dying and to be more comfortable with these types of conversations.

There will be a short lecture on the history, practice, symbolic message of this often misunderstood pose. Then we will do a series of short practices starting with standing poses and moving to pranayama each with a different savasana. Each practice will begin with a question around your own death, like what are some of your regrets in life, or what do you want your legacy to be, who am I. After each practice, you will be given time to journal about each question. We’ll conclude with a group discussion and of course a final (FOR THIS WORKSHOP) savasana.
